Trial Trip of tho Atlanta.

NEW YORK, April 1.-THE Atlanta re-
turned from a SIX hours trial trip up the
sound at $50 this evening. The trip
had been made from off Wellet's Point,
past Execution Rock under spanking
breeze and chOppy sea and return. For
six consecutive hours of the trial trip the
vessel cleared the white caps with her
engines under full pressure, some
times reaching l64 knots and some
times only "A. TIE average speed was I5d
knots. The engines worked splendidIy,
but they did no. develop that power
which it was expected it would be safe to
press on them in cases Of emergency, as
in action, for instance. This may, how
ever, not prove il defect when the joints
Of the machinery get toned down by con-
slant running. 1t is anticipated that the
Atlanta can do seventeen knots an hour
at pinch when her cylinders and bear
ings become greasy.

A LIFE OF ADVENTURE.
Beginning In a Circus and Ending in the
Salvation Army.

Beginning in Circus and Ending in the
Salvation Army,
Portland Cie.) Letter.
Lieutenant Maud A. Harris, a noted
Salvation Army "star," is at the barracks
here. She is a noted parsonage, and in
her time has played many parts, and
played them well. She was given to Adam
Forepaugh, ST., when not quite four years
old, and was at once put in training for
the circus business.
The story she tells of the sufferings of
those early days is most pathetic. Child
as she was, she was unable to make
friends with the circus people, but she
cultivated the acquaintance of the dumb
beasts. While she scarcely recalls kind
word spoken to her by any one of her
numerous masters, she remembers how
the great elephant took her into his conf
dence and affection. He would put his
trunk about her, and in many ways make
her understand tina. she had one friend.
When trained she was brought before
the public as "Carrie Brown, the
champion juvenile bareback rider of the
world" and before she had seen ten
years had crossed the Atlantic twice, and
had appeared in almost every city of note
in the United States. She has since
crossed the Atlantic fifty times.
Weary of the life she was leading, the
child rider resolved to make an effort to
escape, and after an evening performance
in Philadelphia made her way out under
the tent, and, clad only in the dress OF the
stage, she escaped, and was leaving Tenth
street for Walnut when she almost dashed
into the arms Of Edwin Forrest. The
great actor caught her and held her fast.
"Don't take me back, don't take me
back" she exclaimed.
Mr.. Forrest took her to his hotel, gave
her food and heard her story, and resolved
to stand by her. He took up her case
and recovered $21OO from the company
for her past services. Nor did the kind
ness of Mr.. Forrest stop with that. He

BUFFALO, N. Y, April 10.-An electri-
clan named Thompson, who halls from
Toledo, and who is reported to have re-
Gently been in the state asylum here, pub
fishes to-day novel proposition. For
several months, he says, he has been in
poor health and claims to have made the
discovery that it is due entirely to the air
being heavily charged with electricity
He has, therefore, started out on the work
of annihilating all the electric light COM
panies in the land. He claims that "the
indiscriminate use of electricity has be-
come the cause of an intolerable nuisance,
and that the electric light companies
employ batteries of large quantity, from
which enough electricity escapes to de-
strOy the purity of the air and water.
To remedy this evil he proposes that
that the President appoint special COM
mission to determine if the evil can not
be remedied He has many forms of
argument to present, and suggests that
the commission consist of S. NJ. MunsOn,
Of Glasgow; Thomas A. Edison, George
A. Hamilton and Gerritt Smith, of New
York city. These gentlemen, according
to Thompson, would be able to convince
the people that the electric light COM
panies should be bought out and buried
forever. In case of a dry summer he
says the American people Will suffer ter
ribly from electricity before the year is

declaration of war to the knife with
the socialists. The Gladstonians
charge Mr.. Chamberlain with SLAM
deriDg his former colleagues
by the insinuation that they sympathize
with the perpetrators of the outrages.
John Redmond made an explanation in
reference to his speech in the
Chicago convention. He said that
Mr.. Chamberlain in his speech at
Ayr had represented him as saying
that the Irish party was not working for
the removal of grievances. What l did
say was thst they were not working sole
ly for the purpose of removing the ma
terial grievances of tenants, but to
obtaln,poIitICal reform also. Further when
he said that the government of Ireland
by England was impossible, his allusion
was to the centralized government of

was offered by Gladstone. Cries of

LONDON, April Inf Balfour, Chief
Secretary for Ireland, intimated in the
House of Commons this afternoon that
no salary would be attached to the office
of under-secretary for Ireland, made for
Colonel King Harmon. The government
was aware, Mr.. Balfour said. when they

pointment would be attacked. 1t had

been informed that its action was legal.
In addition to this, Mr.. Balfour said the
new office did not involve In its accept
ance by a member OF the House of
Commons the necessity Of his resigning
his seat and reContesting it for election
because the Office was not place of pro
fit or emolument under the crown. Mr..

Scott, mulatto murderess, was brought
in to-day for the murder of her mother in
the Choctaw Nation about six weeks ago.

thinking Cherry was imposing upon her
sister-in-law told the latter to kill her.

When asked about the killing, Cherry
seemed perfectly indifferent and aid;

NEEDLES AND PINS
How They Are Made in EncIand-9Ianu-
faCturs of FjshhoOEs


facturs of FjshhoOEs
According TO the most recent estimate,
says the Analyst, the present production
of needles in Redditch, Eng, is not less
than sc, 900 900 per week, and, as may be
inferred from this enormous aggregate,
machinery has been brought to bear upon
the trade IN most extensive degree, and
with marked success. The pointing Of
needles, one of the most delicate of all
the operations, is now almost exclusively
done by machinery, and so is the cutting,
skimming, stamping, cycling, tempering,
counting, heading and failing, blu
ing, Furnishing, finishing, asserting
and sticking. New and improved
machines for all these processes
have been successfully in trOduced
during the last twenty years or so, and,
unlike the experience in other trades, the
machine work about needles in not only
cheaper but better. The latest novelty,
and one which is q pronounced success,
IS the growing machine fer making sew
ing machine needles, the Old stamping
process being thereby superseded.
Work done by the growing machine
is better and ;ruer, besides being
more economical. The old process of
ether gliding has been almost entirely
superseded by the newer and improved
method Of electro gliding. R-dditch is
becoming the rival Of Birmingham in the
manufacture OF pins, the ordinary
common household pin being supple
mented Oy shawl aud scarf pins,
with glass and steel heads. About
two tons weight of pins of all
sorts are made at RedGitch weekly. Ac-
Cording to the latest phase which ingen-
i0us enterprise has taken in,this trade, the
production ought TO be increased by
'1eaps and bounds" for an attempt IS
being made to so reconstruct the ma
chimes that they may produce two pins
at time instead of one. Redditch pro-
duces every week an average Of 20,OOO,-
900 fish-hoOks of all descriptions,
from that required by the angler
of minnoWs in the streamlet to that
adapted for pike and salmon fishermen.
Machinery is very largely used in the
manufacture CT fshhooks, and in cOnneC-
ton with the smaller class of seR-hooks,
electro thinning is being extensively
adopted. Fishing rods, floats and sWiV-
els now constitute important branches of
RedditCh industry. and O considerable
trade is growing up in the production of
artificial flies, which are exclusively hand
made.
